Luke Ridnour Was Probably Traded Again In The Time It Took To Write This
Before yesterday, I wouldn’t have known where Luke Ridnour played last season. My best guess would have been, “Is he still in Minnesota?” The guard was actually with the Magic, until he was traded to the Grizzlies Wednesday, but his journey didn’t end there. Ridnour got shipped around two more times...
The Kings Are Screwed No Matter What Happens To DeMarcus Cousins
Things are happening quickly. On Monday, Yahoo reported that new Kings coach George Karl is looking to ship DeMarcus Cousins out of town. (Crazy!)

Some Guy Says He Won't Play For The Sixers Next Season
Croatian forward Dario Šarić has informed the Philadelphia 76ers that he will not play for them in the 2015-16 season. Neither will Karl-Anthony Towns, Tom Brady, or Barack Obama. After much deliberation, I too have decided not to join the Sixers in 2015-16....
Marshawn Lynch Embraces Draymond Green's Mom For Talking "Real Shit"
Oakland native and Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is on the premises for today’s Warriors NBA title celebration, and somehow ended up live on CSN with Dramond Green’s mother.

What The Hell Is Phil Jackson Even Talking About?

Doc Rivers Wants To Remind You That It's Never His Fault
